Fan-favorite Daniel Ricciardo has been seen back behind the wheel, taking to social media to share his support for another Red Bull athlete.

The former Formula 1 star was sacked by RB, Red Bull's junior team, earlier this season after being frequently outperformed by his team-mate.

Ricciardo had dipped in and out of the Red Bull family during his F1 career, having secured his start in the sport with the junior team in 2012.

With rumors swirling around the Aussie star's future, there were even suggestions he could be up for promotion back to the main team to reunite with old team-mate Max Verstappen should his time at RB prove him worthy.

Most recently, the 35-year-old shared via social media that he had been supporting Red Bull athlete Hunter Lawrence, a motocross racer and fellow Aussie.

Ricciardo shared an image of the pair to his Instagram story, along with a video of himself back behind the wheel, this time kicking back as he was driven by Hunter's brother, Jett Lawrence, who is also competes in motocross.

In a collaborative post revealing further details, Hunter, motocross team Alpine and Ricciardo's own clothing brand, Enchante, shared an upcoming partnership, where fans can celebrate the relationship the Aussies share with a new merchandise collection set to be released.
